from the NYT: "Comcast is starting to test new approaches to protecting its network from what it describes as congestion caused by a handful of customers who use far far more bandwidth than everyone else. Until now, Comcast has been using devices that interfered with the BitTorrent protocol--the most common method for downloading large files from computers of other users. BitTorrent is often used by people exchanging pornography and illegal copies of movies, but creators of video and software also choose to use BitTorrent as an inexpensive way to distribute their creations."
The corporations are against the Michael Crawfords of this world, therefore we hate them.

Has ANYONE, at any time, ever successfully downlaoded that History of the Luftwaffe 1991 DVD via bittorrent or p2p?
This is about the 11th time i've tried and I have no hopes of getting this time either. If any of yuo peoples have, was it not this movie and am I wasting my time? There appears to be absolutely ZERO info about this film on IMDB, Rotten Tomatoes, and the various torrent sites.

They are being sued from 3 sides, but I wonder if the bigger dilemma will come from the digital version of OJ's Murder Confession book, but that's just my stupido speculation...Anyways, Sweden, I think I still love you.

I am relicensing my album Geometric Visions from the Creative Commons ShareAlike 2.5 license to the CC-SA 3.0 Unported license. To do so, I'm updating not just my web pages, but all the artwork related to my album, such as the CD case insert, the label that's printed on the CD itself, sheet music and so on.
This means I need to regenerate my BitTorrent .torrent files. I'm taking the opportunity to add some new material to the torrents, such as the sheet music in PDF, midi and Lilypond format.
My case insert is presently printed on one side of a piece of paper, cut to size, then folded in half. So there's a front album label, and when you open the CD case you see the back of the label. But if you remove the case insert and unfold it, the inner two pages are blank.
My new torrents will include a PDF for the inner pages of the case insert with a short essay entitled "Why Free Music?" as well as a short history of my piano, which I inherited from my grandparents.
Don't worry - it's very brief; my draft is posted within.
Poll: Inner case insert - Emergence score or Why Free Music Essay?

Some people whine about things like BitTorrent apparently is downloading as slow as molasseses in January in Alaska, and whine about it their Kuro5hin diaries.
No one is advocating downloading illegal torrents, but legal ones like Linux ISOs, Michael Crawford FLOSS format songs, etc.
This story can help you make BitTorrent download faster.
